I am looking to start a Welcome Committee thats made up of abut 4-5 residents. Does anyone have something like this in place, and if so, how do you run in? I have volunteers ready to go, just trying to work out the details.

Hi Kat, I was in a CCRC and we had our independent residents assist with this part. You may want to engage your marketing team? Or Move-in coordinator? They may have a budget that you can use for a welcome basket. They will probably also know the dates that the new residents will move in so you can let your Welcome Committee know ahead of time to prepare.

I’m loving your website, it’s been a great help to me over the last six months since I started my new role. Lots of hints and tips, great activities, and it’s great that we can contribute too. It’s fantastic to have such a universal source of information, how we have a common goal and language despite our worldwide locations. Thank you!

I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
